Questions about loft insulation in Yate
How many homes in Yate are houses?
89% of households live in a house or bungalow and 10% in a flat or maisonette, according to the 2021 Census.
I rent in Yate. Can I have my loft insulated?
It’s your landlord’s decision, as they’re responsible for the building. Landlords can ask us for a quote.
My loft is boarded straight onto the joists. Is that a problem?
It usually means the insulation underneath is squashed. We can lift the boards, insulate properly and refit them on a raised floor.
Where will the insulation go?
On the loft floor, between the joists and in a layer across them, with the eaves left clear for air.
